DURHAM, NH (WMUR/CNN) – Downtown Durham is normally fairly quiet, but after Sunday night’s Super Bowl game, it could be packed with as many as 5,000 University of New Hampshire students and their friends.

“I think everyone’s going to be doing the same thing…shattering things like last time,” said UNH senior Julie Mullaney.

When the Patriots won in 2002, some things were set on fire. And in 2013, after the World Series, bottles were thrown.

But police say those extremes are rare, and that most crowds have been responsible and cooperative.
